Realistic Cartoon illustration of emotionally significant childhood memory

Job ID: 40119727

Budget: $10 – $70 USD

I have reference photos of my family and a description of a significant childhood memory, and I need a polished, realistic cartoon-style illustration for a children's legacy book. The characters must be the star of the piece—expressive faces and likenesses to the provided photos, accurate proportions, and respectful of the profound emotional importance, and still feel true to life. The room itself only needs enough detail to depict a cozy, love-filled scene from our childhood bedroom.

I’ll provide photos of each family member and notes on mood and color once we start. Final artwork should be delivered as a 300 dpi RGB PNG plus the fully layered PSD (or Procreate/Illustrator file if you prefer), large enough for an A3 print. Please keep all layers organized so I can tweak small items later if needed.

If this sounds like your style, let me see a couple of similar character-focused pieces in your portfolio and tell me roughly how long you’d need to finish once you receive the references.
